0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I am Liam Bartlett.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 7>And I'm Alison Sandy.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>It's been three years since Anna has seen her sister

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Nancy and her Nieces. It's a warm sunny day in Perth,

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the Swan River sparkling. Only a few clouds can be

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>seen on the horizon. We take two cars, the camera

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>crew and me in one, Anna and Allison in the other.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 6>Good to catch up with him.

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Anna says how excited she is about seeing everyone again.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Nice to you to make.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>That Before leaving she rings Nancy to let her know

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>they're on the way.

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.639
<v Speaker 6>Nancy sounded a little bit of horse this morning.

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so that generally happens to her voice when she

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 8>starts to get nervous and anxious about things, And generally

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 8>that's all to do with Amy. She's had this condition

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 8>for ten years now, I guess.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 7>So that's why you had to take up the plan

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 7>for Amy, right, because it's just really too hard for

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 7>Nancy with everything and having to look after the kids

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 7>one hundred.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 5>She was devastated when this happened.

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 8>It tore Nancy's world apart, and it devastated her as

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 8>a point and it still does to this day. And

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 8>I remember how angry I was, not just upset about

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 8>losing Amy, but how angry I was about how we

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 8>lost her and the way the police would treat Amy.

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 8>I was angry, and I remember going back to Sydney

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 8>and I'd be contacting Nancy and asking her to contact people.

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 8>Have you called this person, have you asked this question?

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 8>Have the police got back to you? Did the coroner

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 8>say anything? And I didn't realize at first that I

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 8>was pushing a broken person to do something they were

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 8>not capable of.

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 5>And one day it just hit.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 8>Me, It just clicked if I had a conversation with her,

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 8>and I realized that she can't do this, and it's

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 8>me that's thinking of all these things to do, you know,

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 8>people to contact, people.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 5>To speak to, the questions to ask.

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 8>And we had a conversation one day and I said

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 8>to her, how about you focus on looking after Amy's

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 8>children and protecting them.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 5>And I'll focus on Amy. And we agreed that's what

0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 5>we'd do.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 7>Tell me you've organized a bit of a surprise meeting

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 7>today with for Larry, the police officer who was at

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 7>the scene, to come and meet Nancy. Now Nancy has

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 7>met him, but she doesn't remember.

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Right, that's correct.

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 8>So I didn't know this until I spoke to Larry.

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 9>He was one of the officers that I saw Nancy,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 9>I believe, down at the bottom gate when she first

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 9>arrived at the house after Amy died, and then he

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 9>and another police officer went to Nancy's home to let

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 9>her know.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 8>That the detectives had deemed Amy's death suicide. Nancy can't

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 8>remember that when you receive information like that and you

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 8>get told something is horrific as what she got told

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 8>that night I mean, Amy was the love of a life,

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 8>and when you get told something like that, your world

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 8>falls apart. How do you remember things that have said?

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 8>How do you remember? You know, just details like remembering

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.119
<v Speaker 8>the person that told you that. It is so much

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 8>of that night that is such a blur to her.

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 8>She doesn't remember the conversation that she and I had

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 8>the very next morning when she told me that the

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 8>police had been in touch with her and told her

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 8>that Amy's death was a suicide.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 5>She doesn't remember that phone call to me.

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 8>She doesn't remember that night when Amy died, the conversation

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 8>that she and I had on that phone, But I

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 8>remember it because it was devastating to me and it

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 8>was painful. I won't forget it. But it was so

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 8>much for her being Amy's mum, that a lot of

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 8>it is a blur. So she doesn't remember meeting Larry

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 8>that night. So coming here to Perth, I thought I'd

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 8>reach out to Larry and see if he'd be willing

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.799
<v Speaker 8>to come to Nancy's place and meet her the first time.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, for her it's like.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 8>Meeting him for the first time because she doesn't remember,

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 8>and for me, I'd like to see him again as well,

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 8>because the only time I've ever met Larry was in

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 8>the courtroom when he gave evidence, and it was so brief.

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 8>He got up and he gave his evidence, and after

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 8>he gave the evidence, he came down and he shook

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 8>the hands of people who were there for Amy. And

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 8>when he got to me, I just said to him,

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 8>thank you, and he just leant down and hugged me,

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 8>just gave me a hug, and I could see the

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 8>pain on his face.

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think it's really.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 8>Important that Nancy meets him as well, because I think,

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 8>you know, she would like to thank him for giving

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 8>his honest recollection of that night.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 6>Today's going to be hard for Nancy, though, isn't it.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 8>It will be, I think, although it's although I maybe

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 8>organize this surprise her to meet Larry, I think also

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 8>it will probably hit a nerve as well, because once

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 8>she realizes who he is, I think, you know, it'll

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 8>be emotional for her. But I think she'll be okay

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 8>because we'll be together. So that's what makes it okay.

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 6>You are for each other what the other isn't I guess,

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 6>you know what.

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 8>It's funny to say that because when Nancy and I

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 8>had that conversation years ago, and I said to her,

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 8>you look after Amy's children and I'll look after Amy.

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 8>I said to her, you know what it's like being

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 8>one person, but we're splitting ourselves in half. That's exactly

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 8>what I said to her. She's never been the same

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 8>to her.

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 5>No, she hasn't, not at all. No.

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 8>But thank God for Amy's children. You know, they've kept

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 8>her going. They have been her focus. And it's been

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 8>very hard for her because you know, at the beginning,

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 8>you're talking about two little girls who have just lost

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 8>their mum, and Nancy.

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Had to hold herself together.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 8>You know, so many times when Nancy wanted to, I

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 8>guess break down or cry or whatever, she'd have to

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 8>hold that because she had to be strong for those children.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 8>And those children seeing Nancy upset all the time isn't

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 8>good for them.

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, they love their Nan.

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 8>I remember when not long after Amy passed and Nancy

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 8>had to get back to some sort of normality and

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 8>she was working full time, and she had the kids

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.599
<v Speaker 8>living with us, and she went back to work.

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 5>And Nancy would obviously she stays.

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 8>In regular contact with me, and she'd tell me how

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 8>if she was home late the girls would be very

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.559
<v Speaker 8>upset and they'd be at the window looking out the window,

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 8>waiting for her. And she said, you know, they just

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 8>really want me home and they get upset if I'm late.

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 8>And I had to point it out to me and

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 8>I said, Nancy, they're scared you're not coming home. I said,

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 8>I have to think about it. Their mum was there one

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 8>minute and the next minute, their mum's gone. Now they're

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 8>with you, and they live with you. And if you

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 8>say you're going to be home at three o'clock or

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 8>four o'clock and you're not there, I said, what do

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 8>you think goes through their minds? I said, of course

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 8>they're looking at that window waiting for you because they've

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 8>lost their mum.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 5>They don't need to lose their nan. It's awful, Thank

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 5>you man.

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 6>As always, not's just so appreciative for you. You speak

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 6>with your honey.

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm about to cry. I just hate it.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 6>Like day, it's going to be good. No, it will

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 6>beat therapy.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 5>I can't wait to see them.

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 8>But when I think back about things like that, Alison,

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.439
<v Speaker 8>like those little girls you know, worrying about.

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 5>Nuds you're not coming home. They're just babies. They're just little.

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 10>Girls and Amy Amy that Amy's babies and she should

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 10>be here. Her life was cut short.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Fighting for Amy has taken its toll on Anna and

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the family, but they want their story toll.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>They find strength in each other, but sometimes it does

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>feel very lonely. When we arrive, only Nancy comes to

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the front door. Amy's daughters and friends know that we

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the journalists and camera crew are turning up, but they

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know Anna is with us. Nancy takes us through

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the house to where they're all waiting in the backyard

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>entertainment area. When they see Anna, Hello, Tay and Neya

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>immediately jump up excitedly and give her a big hope.

0:10:52.320 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 11>It's just so much so when you're moving to Sydney.

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, Oh.

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 3>Miss your girls so much.

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 12>You don't believe that it's me.

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, cry, I'm not a big fan praying either.

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Anna also enjoys a hug with her sister Nancy, who

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>she hasn't seen for three years.

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 12>Oh wow, the cool looks goodness.

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't.

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Also at the reunion are Amy's best friends Natasha Selsa,

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>who she used to live with, and Aaron Gower, who

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Amy met at high school.

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 3>I said, I wasn't.

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Coming back here to your business, mean in Sydney at

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 5>this time. Be back to your visit me, Tash.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 2>You.

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 7>Like Amy. Nancy was a young mum. Amy Lee Wensley

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 7>was born on eleventh of February nineteen ninety at Nepean

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 7>Hospital in New South Wales to Nancy and John Wensley.

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 7>Amy and her parents lived with John's mother, who was

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 7>so excited about the birth of her first grandchild. Amy

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 7>would grow up to form a very close bond with

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 7>her grandmother, whom she would go on to affectionately call Marzy.

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 7>Marzy adored Amy and she would always fuss over her granddaughter.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 7>When Amy was aged about three, Nancy and John decided

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 7>to move to Ballina, where Amy's sister Sam was born.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 7>Amy was upset Sam was not a boy and asked

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 7>her mum to take Sam back to the hospital and

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 7>bring home a boy. Despite wanting a brother, Amy adored

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 7>having a little sister. A few years later, they moved

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 7>back to Sydney to be closer to family. Marzie and

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 7>her auntie Anna were thrilled to have them return and

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 7>to be closer to the children. Three years later, Amy

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 7>became a big sister again to Kelly. Amy was delighted

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 7>and spent much of a time fussing over her little sisters,

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 7>always looking after and playing with them. For a short while,

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 7>Amy attended Newtown Primary School and enrolled at Brent Street

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 7>Dance Studio, where she took part in the End of

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 7>Yew dance performance. She loved dancing and going to rehearsals.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.439
<v Speaker 7>Amy's parents separated and Nancy was looking to start a

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 7>new life elsewhere. Nancy and her three daughters moved to Perth,

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 7>where her brother was living with his family. Amy settled

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 7>him well to her new life and made new friends

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 7>in high school. It's where she met Aaron Gower. Amy

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 7>continued to include her sisters in everything. They shared a

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 7>close bond until the day.

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 3>She died too.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 8>When Amy died, they aged just seventeen and twenty and

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 8>the girls are very close. When they were growing up,

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 8>Amy used to be like a little mum to them.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 8>She used to fuss over them and play with them

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 8>and make sure they're okay and make sure they weren't misbehaving.

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 8>She was a proper little and as they got a

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 8>little bit older became teenagers, Amy used to do things

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 8>with her friends, and sometimes she'd take her sisters along

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 8>with her. That's how close they were. And when Amy

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 8>passed away, her sisters were so devastated and they still

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 8>are at the loss of their big sister and not

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 8>having her around anymore.

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 5>They missed terribly.

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 7>After Amy died, Kelly received a Facebook message from David Simmons' aunt,

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 7>Chrissy Bull, who said.

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 13>I will never ever believe that she took her own

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 13>life because that was not what Amy would ever do. Kelly,

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 13>all I can say to you is that Amy was

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 13>a big part of our family too.

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 8>It shows that it's not just our family and friends

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 8>who who believe that Amy did not take her life.

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 8>There's clearly members of David's own family who feel the

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 8>same way or think the same way and don't believe

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 8>that Amy took her life either.

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.479
<v Speaker 5>And that says a lot. I think that speaks volumes.

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 7>Then two weeks later, she sent another message to Amy's

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 7>best friend Erin, saying this, I.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 13>Hope you don't take this the wrong way, but my

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 13>family and I are having a private service for Amy.

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 7>Chrissy complains they weren't invited to Amy's official funeral.

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 13>That is the reason my family wasn't at Amy's funeral.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 13>We weren't told nothing at all. Nancy had no intention

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 13>whatsoever to let Tay's great grandparents even know. We're all

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 13>drained by what's gone on. I'm not letting off steam

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 13>to you by any means whatsoever. I just know that

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 13>this isn't the way Amy would have wanted. This family

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 13>aren't even allowed to see the girls. Just a few

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 13>heads up on why my family's hurting, Aaron replies.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 5>What does this have to do with me?

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 13>Just let you know we cared for your bestie two.

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 8>I understand exactly why her family is feeling the way

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 8>they are.

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 13>I was always the one to help her out. I

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 13>know what you're saying me, I do. May she be

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 13>resting in peace and the truth come out in the end.

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:14.919
<v Speaker 5>I love to come as it means.

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Amy's loved ones settle into conversation, enjoy a game poul,

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.959
<v Speaker 1>and make the most of their special but limited time together.

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>And I can't believe how much her daughters have grown,

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.959
<v Speaker 1>both physically and emotionally.

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Surprise.

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, just a little, just a little.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't worry.

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm nearly taller than everyone here.

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.400
<v Speaker 14>Except except you should take up to me, be tall,

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 14>hopefully look at you.

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, will will sit down? It's making me

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 5>a drink. Oh my goodness.

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean she's that's okay.

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 3>So anyone can.

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Tell me anything that's going It's got the braces. How's

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 5>that going on?

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god?

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I just took them out because I can't speak with them.

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like my mouth closed like this.

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:17.439
<v Speaker 8>How much longer you do?

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I've had them for like two years and a bit now,

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 2>but they only said I was meant to have them

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 2>for like only a year because my teeth weren't that bad.

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 8>They weren't that bad.

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 2>And I have a dent disappointment, I think on Wednesday,

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 2>and then yeah.

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 15>You'll find out then hopefully find out if I get

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 15>the mouths and you're just gonna have beautiful teeth.

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.360
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, and you're missing what's going on.

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 6>Not much is growing one at the moment.

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 5>For me, it's what year are you in now?

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm in year nine and you're liking school?

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, it's all right, nothing too interesting in the moment.

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 5>But education is important.

0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 12>So when Amy was a little girl, when your mum

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 12>was little, she always just to get upset when she

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.920
<v Speaker 12>had to go home to Nan. She wanted to stay

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 12>with me, and she was sitting in the car and

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 12>I used to do this to her.

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Anna points to her eye, her heart, then to Tay

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and Naya, I love you.

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:21.679
<v Speaker 5>And then she'd do this to me.

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 8>She'd point to her eye, point to her heart, point

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 8>to me, and then hold up two fingers to say,

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 8>I love you too.

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 5>And that's why you two do it, because your mum

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 5>taught you to do it.

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, what was the other thing your mum taught you that?

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 5>I taught her?

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 8>There was something and I used to tell her something,

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 8>and she taught you to that. Oh about sisters.

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what because it's true, right, that's true.

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Right before we know it, over an hour has passed.

0:19:54.760 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Larry is due to arrive any minute.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Nancy, Larry, there are you guaranteed. I'm really sorry.

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Buddy's been lingering. Oh man, I was right. I want

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 3>to say you because I never got to tell you

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 3>after the inquest. Thank you so much, been there and

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 3>doing all this, doing all this with us.

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 4>It's something I have to do. I have to see

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.360
<v Speaker 4>the job, even though I'm not a pretty much.

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much. You would you like to come

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 3>and meet the girls. I means girls.

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Nancy goes on to show Larry a shelf where

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:08.880
<v Speaker 1>pictures of Amy and her daughters are carefully placed, as

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>well as a candle they light on the anniversary of

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>her death. Before then Taynya and Larry meet for the

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 1>first time.

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 3>But this is Larry, this is yeah, and.

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>You're the tallest and the I picked that up straight away.

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I should have been a detective.

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 3>We wish, yes, actually we wish.

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 5>It's a good surprise.

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 15>Next stop it so the girls just asking me his

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 15>surprise visitor and we just told him that you're the

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 15>police officer.

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 12>It turned up the first one to turn up and

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 12>tried to help their mom.

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 4>And I made a pledge that night to Amy. I

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 4>stayed in the room with the farewell and I made

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.400
<v Speaker 4>a pledge that I said, we were going to get

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:07.200
<v Speaker 4>to the bottom of this.

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 3>We'll get to the bottom of this.

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Everyone here is united in their grief. Emotions are raw,

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.440
<v Speaker 1>but they're here for one reason, and I hope that

0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the truth about Amy will finally be realized. Nancy tells

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.479
<v Speaker 1>me how the passing of time has not made it

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>any easier.

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 3>I have trouble sleeping at night. Oh, I can be

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 3>so tired and I'll go to bed and something will

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 3>just trickle me in, I sends. I closed my eyes.

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 3>I go back to that night, that phone call. I

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 3>raung her when I got home from work, hearing is

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 3>hearing names voice, hysterical crying, And.

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:58.119
<v Speaker 1>In that phone call, you said, what come here? Come

0:22:58.160 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>come home?

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Kiss shit? You want the girls? Come here? I don't

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 3>care if you stay here for a month. Here whatever,

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 3>get here now.

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 1>She fully agree with you. Did you feel any sort

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>of pushback?

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 3>No, Yes, mum, I'll be there soon. He said, Do

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:18.360
<v Speaker 3>you want me to come get here? She said no,

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 3>because she knew if I would have went out there,

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 3>there would have been a big argument with David and

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 3>myself and son. I was there soon, so you're sure

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I'll be there soon.

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>She was just trying to find the line of least

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 1>resistance so that she could get in the car and

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>come here with the girls.

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, when I wrung Amy, she was hysterical. If gone,

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 3>what fuck happens? A hit you because grabbed me by

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:52.160
<v Speaker 3>the throat and throw me on the ground. Gone, what

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 3>he's grabbed you and grabbed you by the throat? For

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 3>the ground, what the fuck? Because she had a said

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 3>two bracksta, he got a paralyzed her by doing something stupid.

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Like that from her previous neck injury from him.

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Being drunk behind the wheel and crushing the car.

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 7>It's worth noting here that David Simmons denies being drunk

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 7>at the time of the accident, and there's no proof

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.160
<v Speaker 7>he was because police did not attend.

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 1>So when you heard her say he's thrown me on

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the ground.

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's when I said, pack his ship and the

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 3>girls get down here now. And by then only had

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 3>calmed down. She wasn't as hysterical as she was when

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I first rung and okay, I'll be there soon. So

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 3>when I heard the carp up, I've gone to the

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 3>front door and it was him, and he knows I'm mistead.

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Is that what he said to you? That was his

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>first words.

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was his first words. I mistead she killed usself.

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I didn't believe it. I was in shock.

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't believe I mean, that's almost possible for you

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 1>to grasp on your front veranda like I.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Was in shark. I couldn't believe it. That's why I

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 3>had to go up to the house I just wanted

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 3>to get up there to find out.

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:11.879
<v Speaker 1>As quick as you could.

0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I remember it was raining that night too. I

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 3>was driving to the house. I was raining.

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 1>When you think back on the conversation that you had

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>with Amy, because you must have replayed this over and

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>over in your mind a million times, is there anything

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>in that conversation that you thought she was off kilter,

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 1>a little bit strange or not. No, so I was

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>speaking normally or her usual.

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.119
<v Speaker 3>She was hysterical when I called because it was a

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 3>big fight that they were having. And when I told

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:49.639
<v Speaker 3>her to come here, I'll be there soon, and she

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 3>wasn't ahsterical animal. And then I thought, she's going to

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 3>pack some other stuff and come straight down here.

0:25:56.920 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Because when the police first said suicide, you must have

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 1>immediately gone back to that conversation you had with her

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 1>and thought, hang on a minute, she.

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.439
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't have done it. She wouldn't have put her girls

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 3>in the car and walk a couple of meters into

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 3>the house and do that. Why she's put her girls

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 3>in the car and said where are you going to

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Nana Pops and staying there. You wouldn't do that. Why

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 3>would you say we're going to Nana and Pops. We're

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.160
<v Speaker 3>staying Nana Pops and then go inside and commit suicide.

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a very strange sequence, isn't it. It is in

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>the immediate hours and days afterward. Nancy, did you talk

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to the girls? I know they were very, very young.

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 3>I've never asked them any questions about that day, that afternoon.

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 3>I've never asked.

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But have they said anything to you? Have they speaking

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>out loud? Have they said something that's made you think?

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Hang on?

0:26:55.320 --> 0:27:00.880
<v Speaker 3>The youngest one as always said, if mom wanted to leave,

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 3>it would hurt her.

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:08.360
<v Speaker 1>So you take it that's overheard from some conversation perhaps, or.

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 3>They've seen the arguments, or they would have seen the

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 3>arguments the fights that for her to come out and

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 3>just say that.

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>So, after all you've been through, after the initial investigation,

0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 1>if I can call it that, and then another one

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>after that, then the cold case review, then the coroner's

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 1>court ten years on, what do you think happened?

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 3>She didn't commit suicide.

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>You're very convinced, absolutely. How do you then balance up

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:53.120
<v Speaker 1>what's happened in the years since with nothing happening.

0:27:54.960 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 3>It's a joke. It's a joke. Why weren't forensics out

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 3>there that night. They should have been there even if

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was suicide, so they should have called

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:12.919
<v Speaker 3>forensics out there, But I didn't. Her girls miss their

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 3>mum every day. They would prefer to be living with

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 3>their mum and living with me.

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about the way the police have

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>handled this whole thing.

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's a joke, absolute joke. I should have done more.

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.720
<v Speaker 3>That's the why I say it. I should have done more.

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think it's turned out this way? Do

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you think it's just circumstance? Amy was just unlucky, if

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I can, If I can put it that way.

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, maybe if the detective that came out that night

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 3>wasn't going on and you'll leave that night after that shit,

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe he would have decided to get forensics out and

0:28:56.560 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>do his job properly. But to me, my eyes, the

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 3>way I say it, all you cared about was, well,

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 3>this is my last shift. I'm going on annual leave.

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 3>If I get forensics out, I've got to stay longer.

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the way I say it. Not doing their job?

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Do you worry about going on annual leave.

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible to think that a young mum can be

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>shot in that fashion. Let me put it another way,

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 1>can suffer a fatal word in her own bedroom, and

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>yet the whole case there, ever, after, almost falls between

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the cracks. It's very hard to get your head around,

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 1>isn't it.

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 3>It makes me angry. It makes me angry. Don't know

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 3>how they can make up for that, what they've put

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 3>my family through, especially Amy's daughters.

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>How can this thing be fixed? Is it as simple

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>as somebody somewhere developing a conscience?

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I hope say there's a million dollars out there

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 3>for her if they want to come forward, or they

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 3>can be anonymous, but come forward and told them what

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 3>they know. And we all know Amy didn't do this.

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 3>How could she hold a double barrel shotgun? How could

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 3>she turn her head like that? When she couldn't even

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:24.520
<v Speaker 3>turn her head like that because of her neck, should

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 3>have to move her whole body. So how does that

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 3>make sense?

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't Well? Your opinion is backed up by the experts,

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. There? Exactly not one, but two.

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Two biomechanic experts exactly.

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Both said to the coroner that they were convinced, in

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>their opinion professional opinion, Amy did not shoot herself yep.

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 3>And what's happened. I think so we were failed by

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the police. The coroner just got no words for it.

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 3>It's just a joke. Someone needs to have a conscience.

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Think of aim as daughters. Think of them, what they're

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 3>going through, what about their mental health? Think of them,

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Do the right thing and speak up. That's what someone

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 3>needs to do that knows something. Speak up that Aim

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 3>is daughters.

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>And just finally, Constable Larry Blandford.

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, here's a lovely man like Oh, I met him

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:51.400
<v Speaker 3>properly today. I can't remember him coming to me the

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:54.760
<v Speaker 3>nighted and I can't remember seeing him up at the house.

0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 3>But meeting him today was saying nice, knowing that they

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 3>still play on his mind. He cares and he knows

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 3>that it's not right how we have been traded, how

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Amy's daughters have been traded. It's not right.

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, he was one of three policemen who turned up,

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.719
<v Speaker 1>two policemen and one police woman, Yes, who turned up

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:21.240
<v Speaker 1>when it happened. And all three of those uniformed officers

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 1>expressed their doubts.

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and still those detectives just over their head. Why

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 3>and you'll leave? That just pisses me off.

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 7>Nancy is referring to what Detective Kirkman told the inquest

0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 7>that he was due to start seven weeks long servicely

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 7>as soon as the shift ended.

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 3>And how disgusting is that just makes me angry. I'd

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 3>love for him to look at Amy's daughters and look

0:32:55.760 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 3>them in their eye and explain why why he failed them.

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>So Simmons brings the girls, who were already in the

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 1>car anyway.

0:33:07.720 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Because Amy put them in the car.

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Amy put them there. He brings them here.

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 7>Pausing here. In his testimony at the inquest, David Simmons

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 7>says he was the one who put the kids in

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 7>the car. However, Amy's family don't believe him.

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>He tells you Amy's dead. Was he emotional, No, he

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't crying. Was he was he apologetic? Was he?

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh? He did? Actually later when I was yelling and screaming,

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 3>was crying, Well, what I know, insanity is. And then

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 3>when I went to the house, He's come back to

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 3>the house not long after it, and we were arguing

0:33:55.800 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 3>and I'm yelling, screaming and him, it's your fault. And

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 3>I remember the female police officer grabbing me from behind.

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Consortable Dixon, yes, and.

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 3>Another officer standing in front of me, hold me back

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:17.879
<v Speaker 3>because I was going for him. And then Larry Tommy

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 3>sitting car.

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Why did you say that at the house? Why did

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 1>you tell Simmons you did it.

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Amy? It was basically here, Amy was packing her stuff

0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:32.360
<v Speaker 3>and coming here, bringing the girls here, and she was

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 3>staying here. Something made her go back in that house,

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 3>put the girls in, and go back in that house,

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 3>and then she was spaced to get in the car

0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 3>and come.

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>You clearly didn't get on with the bloke. You had

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>him pegged quite early on. It's a bit of a

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>no hoper. As you had those conversations with Amy, did

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you you said at all in the months leading up

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to it.

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Look, you know I felt sheeney a long long time ago.

0:34:59.000 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Did she want to leave him?

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 3>She has tried, but she would kick him out, believe,

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 3>and then it would be I'm not drinking anymore. I'm

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:13.719
<v Speaker 3>not going to do it anymore, the drugs, drinking, and

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:17.839
<v Speaker 3>he'll talk his way back in slowly, and then as

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 3>soon as he's back it's back to his old self.

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.920
<v Speaker 3>So it's one of those ones. How many? This is

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 3>another thing that really hits me. They said there's no

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:35.800
<v Speaker 3>report of domestic violence. How many women report domestic violence.

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.440
<v Speaker 3>There's so many women out there that don't report it,

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:43.399
<v Speaker 3>and obviously Amy was one of them, so for them

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 3>the place to say there was no domestic violence in

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:54.320
<v Speaker 3>the past, Well, how do you know just because she

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 3>didn't report it, because a lot of women don't. So

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 3>don't sit there and say they weren't any violence in

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 3>their relationship when there was.

0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:07.719
<v Speaker 7>In her findings, the coroner acknowledges evidence of a volatile

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 7>relationship subject to jealousy and threats of separation, with Amy

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 7>only taking Simmons back because he promised he would change.

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:17.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a high bar, isn't it if you have to

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 1>make an official report. Difficult thing to do? Yes, did

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:24.359
<v Speaker 1>she ever say to you, mum? You know he drinks

0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:27.600
<v Speaker 1>too much, she's into drugs. How does she characterize his

0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:28.279
<v Speaker 1>behavior to you?

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Sicker and drugs, cigareine and drinking all the time, and

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:37.960
<v Speaker 3>like I said, he would stop or stop, I won't

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.719
<v Speaker 3>do it anymore, and then wais all his way back

0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 3>into a life again. And it's the same cycle over

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 3>and iron over. Hopefully someone like I said, think of

0:36:57.080 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm a girls two girls were without that mum, And

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 3>there right thing. Let's hope that's all. I want someone

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 3>to be arrested. Charles walked away.

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:19.719
<v Speaker 7>Daughter en honestly well, Nancy has cared for her granddaughters

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:24.040
<v Speaker 7>since Amy's passing. Initially David Simmons did see his daughter,

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:27.800
<v Speaker 7>but that didn't last long and Nancy now has a

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:30.359
<v Speaker 7>lifetime restraining order against him.

0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.239
<v Speaker 3>I've got to have it on my phone, and I

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:38.719
<v Speaker 3>said to take a photo of it and leave it

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:42.800
<v Speaker 3>on my phone, like if wearing the shopping center wherever,

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:47.279
<v Speaker 3>and he approaches us, that I ring the place straight away,

0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 3>and I've got that to say. I've got a restraining.

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Order family violence restraining order. So when did you take

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:59.759
<v Speaker 1>this out against David Robert Simmons twenty seventeen? And why

0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:00.839
<v Speaker 1>did you take that out then?

0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Because he came here and threatened us. I don't know,

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:10.200
<v Speaker 3>we're looking after his daughter, raising his daughter, not getting

0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:17.160
<v Speaker 3>any financial support for his daughter, comes here and threatens us,

0:38:19.480 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Like what kind of person? Why would you do that

0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:26.920
<v Speaker 3>when you know that your daughter's getting looked after and

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 3>loved and you want to come here and threaten us.

0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:33.879
<v Speaker 1>But this is three years after Yeah, Amy died.

0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 3>There's people out there that know that he's got a

0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:41.600
<v Speaker 3>violent history. Why would the cords give me that for life?

0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:44.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a lifetime restraining order.

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, lifetime. That's just saying something, isn't it.

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 1>It says a lot, Yeah it does.

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 3>It's just someone out there needs to just bring up.

0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And tell the truth. Yes, the truth about Amy.

0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, trust about Amy.

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:09.400
<v Speaker 1>After finishing up my interview with Nancy, Tay and Naya

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:13.360
<v Speaker 1>decide they'd like to pay tribute to their mum in

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 1>their own words for this podcast. And it's worth noting

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that these are the girls' nicknames. We've purposefully not included

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:25.760
<v Speaker 1>their full names to protect their privacy.

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 14>I gave Nay the nickname because I couldn't pronounce her name,

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 14>probably growing up here, and I don't know how I

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 14>got mine from.

0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 5>I think I might pot Yeah.

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:44.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, probably Okay. By the time we put this to air,

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 1>it's ten years since you lost your mum. Yeah, what

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:54.480
<v Speaker 1>are your strongest memories of your mum?

0:39:54.600 --> 0:40:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Now? Not a lot, but I remember maybe every we

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 2>would always watch a movie, either in the cinemas or

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 2>like at home. We would always like all Matt in

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:11.279
<v Speaker 2>ones Is and eat popcorn and watch movies Friday night.

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Movie Night.

0:40:11.840 --> 0:40:13.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, that's great.

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 1>It's hard, isn't it, because you two work four and

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>almost four and six respectively, and it's very young, isn't it. Yeah,

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:26.280
<v Speaker 1>to go back for anyone to think about personal memories.

0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:29.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was a very long time and it was

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 5>a redden.

0:40:30.520 --> 0:40:31.560
<v Speaker 8>We're both very young.

0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:36.400
<v Speaker 14>It's always nice to hear stories about how much of

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 14>a good person our mum was growing up and the

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 14>woman she became to be.

0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and like.

0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Knowing that we are both very similar to her, like

0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:51.799
<v Speaker 2>growing up. We both look similar to her as well. Well,

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 2>we like the same things that she liked.

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can see her features in both of you

0:40:58.040 --> 0:40:58.720
<v Speaker 1>in different ways.

0:40:59.120 --> 0:40:59.319
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 5>Always good.

0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:04.040
<v Speaker 2>When I'm feeling like sad, I always have the chance

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 2>to look at all the photos, go through all the

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 2>photos with family.

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:09.000
<v Speaker 5>It's nice.

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.040
<v Speaker 7>Nayo goes on to tell Liam that she can still

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.879
<v Speaker 7>remember the last time she saw her mom.

0:41:15.080 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Mom. She told me that she needed to go back

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 2>inside to grab something, and she told me that the

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:28.320
<v Speaker 2>next movie we're gonna watch would be Rio. Yeah, yes, so,

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and then she went inside and then she never came

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 2>back out.

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 14>To be honest, it does have an effect on me,

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:41.719
<v Speaker 14>but I don't think it affects me as much as

0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:46.279
<v Speaker 14>it does everyone else. I know that some people have

0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 14>it a lot worse than others because they were a

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 14>lot closer to her than some of us, and the

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:57.839
<v Speaker 14>pressure for me personally, it's not a lot.

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:02.239
<v Speaker 2>This could have happened a lot easier if, yeah, it

0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 2>was done properly, But it's still going on like ten

0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 2>years now, so it is kind of hard. I'm like

0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 2>happy that something's still like happening because we're getting somewhere,

0:42:15.400 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Like it wasn't really anywhere at the start, but now

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of getting somewhere and getting closer. So I

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 2>just hope that you can actually find who don't it.

0:42:29.400 --> 0:42:34.200
<v Speaker 14>It's not too painful for me, but I know that

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:40.040
<v Speaker 14>some people get really emotional and upset with these things,

0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 14>So I'm used to being there and supporting others in

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 14>times like this, and I think it's helped me grow.

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 3>In a way.

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.759
<v Speaker 2>We shouldn't have come to the point where we didn't

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:55.200
<v Speaker 2>know what happened. We should have just known, like yes

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 2>on the day.

0:42:57.400 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Next episode, we hear more from Amy's best friends.

0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:09.200
<v Speaker 16>And all I saw was David with his hands around

0:43:09.239 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 16>Amy's neck, bent over like her back pushed up against

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 16>the table with his hands around her neck, and I

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:18.680
<v Speaker 16>remember saying him, that's not okay, Like you can't do that,

0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:21.319
<v Speaker 16>Like she's nine months prey, what is.

0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:25.560

0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:28.760
<v Speaker 5>That is it? See I got told that they didn't find.

0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:30.600
<v Speaker 1>This suddenly turns up again.

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 16>See I tried so hard to make sure that I

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:36.400
<v Speaker 16>could get this available to ant to back you know

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:39.600
